Apple iPhone 4S pre-orders start today, are you getting one?

As promised, the newly announced iPhone 4S has just gone on pre-order in seven countries. You can choose between black and white versions right from the start and between 16, 32 and 64GB of internal storage.
All the online Apple Stores (including the USA's store) offer the iPhone 4S unlocked and...

It's just a matter of time till the next big thing comes out, that's what happened to Nokia and that's what's going to happen to the iPhone in a couple of years (and it's already showing), if they go on to make just a phone per year it's not going to be good for them. I got tired of my iPod 4 in 2 hours and that did not happen with my SGS2, as a matter of fact the iPod is full of dust right now. Good luck for those who really need an iPhone, 80% of the buyers are 16 year old girls that just want the more expensive thing and think that Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and don't know what Apple is. So stop fighting over the sales of a phone, you're not getting any of the money anyway, you are just spending it, so spend wise. Cheers

But now it is clear that Apple can't make a good phone to compare with samsung htc or lg. The only thing they can do well is the IOS and that was the only reason why Iphone became that popular. I.e. when apple made the iphone 3g and 3gs, that was the smoothest smartphone on the earth and people began to like it because there was NO ANDROID AT THAT TIME. But now there is android available with very good smarphones and they are together much better than Apple + IOS. Yes, we know that IOS is still a bit smoother than Android but thats because it has less functions than android. Also android is growing much faster than IOS and this is the time how IOS will lose its popularity.

I've got an iPhone 4 on a two year contract so I'll wait until next year, iOS 5 will add enough changes to keep things interesting, just like the iPhone 3G I upgraded from last year, transferred everything including all my Apps to my new phone via iTunes.

The way Apple does it makes sense for all the people with two year contracts, you never miss out on too much.

The camera and A5 processor look pretty good and are very tempting but I'll just keep upgrading every two years like I've been doing for the last eighteen years.

They just know "iPhone" sounds cool and looks sleek so they want it. If they really knew what these phones packed then of course the iPhone would not have much hype. Hype is what the iPhone contains, that is all.

I really don't understand why you android users are here talking about better phones like sgs2 or upcoming nexus prime or whatever and that's why this is going to be fail.

Can't you really understand that these phones are for different target groups?

Those phones what you are talking about are HUGE phones and i mean physically. Sorry to say all of your specslovers, but iPhone just have much more bigger potential to sell than those huge phones. There's market for huge phones, but never going to be that big what smaller phone has.

If you like your android phone that's fine, but you don't need to try make convert people to buy those, and even if you try it's pointless because people in here these mobile sites doesn't present average iPhone buyer.

See this is what makes me laugh. Android fanboys desperately trying to justify their Android handsets over the iPhone. Enjoy your Android phone, let us enjoy our Apple handset. There are hundreds of Android handsets, just 3 models on offer for the Apple. Yet everytime someone buys an Android phone, a better model just comes along. Whilst with the iPhone, its a yearly thing as the handsets are powerful and good enough to satisfy the consumer :)
